The History of the Highland Clearances
By Alexander MacKenzie, F.S.A., Scot.
1883
Strathglass P. 187
It has been shown, under "Glengarry," that a chief's widow, during her son's minority, was responsible for the Knoydart evictions in 1853. Another chief's widow, Marsali Bhinneach- Marjory, daughter of Sir Ludovick Grant of Dalvey, widow of Duncan MacDonell of Glengarry, who died in 1788- gave the whole of Glencruaich as a sheep farm to one south country shepherd, and to make room for him she evicted over 500 people from their ancient homes. The late Edward Ellice stated before a Committee of the House of Commons, in 1873, that about the time of the rebellion in 1745, the population of Glengarry amounted to between 5000 and 6000. At the same time the glen turned out an able-bodied warrior in support of Prince Charles for every pound of rental paid to the proprietor. Today it is questionable if the same district could turn out twenty men- certainly not that number of MacDonalds.
The bad example of this heartless woman was unfortunately imitated afterwards by her daughter Elizabeth, who, in 1795, married William Chisholm of Chisholm, and to whose evil influence may be traced the great eviction which, in 1801, cleared Strathglass almost to a man of its ancient inhabitants. The Chisholm was delicate, and often in bad health, so that the management of the estate fell into the hands of his strong-minded and hard -hearted wife. In 1801, no less than 799 took ship at Fort William and Isle Martin from Strathglass, the Aird, Glen Urquhart, and the neighbouring districts, all for Pictou, Nova Scotia; while in the following year, 473 from the same district left Fort William, for Upper Canada, and 128 for Pictou. Five hundred and fifty went aboard another ship at Knoydart, many of whom were from Strathglass. In 1803, four different batches of 120 souls each, by four different ships, left Strathglass, also for Pictou; while not a few went away with emigrants fro!
m other parts of the Highlands. During these three years we find that no less than 5390 were driven out of these Highland glens, and it will be seen that a very large portion of them were evicted from Strathglass by the daughter of the notorious Marsali Bhinneach. From among the living cargo of one of the vessels which sailed from Fort William no less than fifty-three souls died, on the way out, of an epidemic; and on the arrival of the living portion of the cargo at Pictou, they were shut in a narrow point of land, from whence they were not allowed to communicate with any of their friends who had gone before them, for fear of communicating the contagion. Here they suffered indescribable hardships.
By a peculiar arrangement between the Chisholm who died in 1793, and his wife, a considerable portion of the people were saved for a time from the ruthless conduct of Marsali Bhinneach's daughter and her co-adjutors. Alexander Chisholm married Elizabeth, daughter of a Dr.Wilson in Edinburgh. He made provision for his wife in case of her outliving him, by which it was left optional with her to take a stated sum annually, or the rental of certain townships, or club farms. Her husband died in 1793, when the estate reverted to his half-brother, William, and the widow, on the advice of her only child, Mary, who, afterwards became Mrs. James Gooden of London, made choice of the joint farms, instead of the sum of money named in her marriage settlement; and though great efforts were made by Marsali Bhinneach's daughter and her friends, the widow, Mrs. Alexander Chisholm, kept the farms in her own hands, and took great pleasure in seeing a prosperous tenantry in these townships, whi!
le all their neighbours were heartlessly driven away. Not one of her tenants were disturbed or interfered with in any way from the death of her husband, in February 1793, until her own death in January, 1826, when unfortunately for them, their farms all came into the hands of the young heir ( whose sickly father died in 1817), and his cruel mother. For a few years the tenants were left in possession, but only waiting an opportunity to make a complete clearance of the whole Strath. Some had a few years of their leases to run on other parts of the property, and could not just then be expelled.
In 1830 every man who held land on the property was requested to meet his chief at the local inn of Cannich. They all obeyed, and were there at the appointed time, but no chief came to meet them. The factor soon turned up, however, and informed them that the laird had determined to enter into no negotiation or any new arrangements with them that day. They were all in good circumstances, without any arrears of rent, but were practically banished from their homes in the most inconsiderate and cruel manner, and it afterwards became known that their farms had been secretly let to sheep farmers from the south, without knowledge of the native population in possession.
Mr. Colin Chisholm, who was present at the meeting at Cannich writes:- "I leave you to imagine the bitter grief and disappointment of men who attended with glowing hopes in the morning, but had to tell their families and dependants in the evening that they could see no alternative before them but the emigrant ship, and choose between the scorching prairies of Australia and the icy regions of North America." It did not , however, come to that. The late Lord Lovat, hearing of the harsh proceedings, proposed to one of the large sheep farmers on his neighbouring property to give up his farm, his lordship offering to give full value for his stock, so that he might divide it among those evicted from the Chisholm estate. This arrangement was amicably carried through, and at the next Whitsunday- 1831- the evicted tenants from Strathglass came into possession of the large sheep farm of Glenstrathfarrar, and paid over to the late tenant of the farm every farthing of the value set upo!
n the stock by two of the leading valuators in the country; a fact which conclusively proved that the Strathglass tenants were quite capable of holding their own, and perfectly able to meet all claims that could be made upon them by their old proprietor and unnatural chief. They became very comfortable in their new homes; but about fifteen years after their eviction from Strathglass they were again removed to make room for deer. On this occasion the late Lord Lovat gave them similar holdings on other portions of his property, and the sons and grandsons of the evicted tenants of Strathglass are now, on the Lovat property, among the most respectable and comfortable middle-class farmers in the county.
The result of the Strathglass evictions was that only two of the ancient native stock remained in possession of an inch of land on the estate of Chisholm. When the present Chisholm came into possession he found, on his return from Canada, only that small remnant of his own name and clan to receive him. He brought back a few Chisholms from the Lovat property, and re-established on his old farm a tenant who had been evicted nineteen years before from the holding in which his father and grandfather died. The Great-grandfather was killed at Culloden, having been shot while carrying his commander, young Chisholm, mortally wounded, from the field. The gratitude of that chief's successors had been shown by his ruthless eviction from the ancient home of his ancestors; but it is gratifying to find the present chief making some reparation by bringing back and liberally supporting the representatives of such a devoted follower of his forbears. The present Chisholm, who has the characte!
r of being a good landlord, is descended from a distant collateral branch of the family. The evicting Chisholms, and their offspring have, however, every one of them, disappeared, and Mr. Colin Chisholm informs us that there is not a human being now in Strathglass of the descendants of the chief, or of the south country farmers, who were the chief instruments in evicting the native population.
To give the reader an idea of the class of men who occupied this district, it may be stated that of the descendants of those who lived in Glen Canaich, one of several smaller glens, at one time thickly populated in the Strath, but now a perfect wilderness-there lived in the present generation, no less than three colonels, one major, three captains, three lieutenants, seven ensigns, one bishop, and fifteen priests.
Earlier in the history of Strathglass and towards the end of the last century, an attempt was made by south country sheep farmers to persuade Alexander Chisholm to follow the example of Glengarry, by clearing out the whole native population. Four southerners, among them Gillespie, who took the farm of Glencruaich, cleared by Glengarry, called upon the Chisholm, at Comar, and tried hard to convince him of the many advantages which would accrue to him by the eviction of his tenantry , and turning the largest and best portions of his estate in great sheep walks, for which they offered to pay him large rents. His daughter, Mary, already referred to as Mrs. James Gooden, was then in her teens. She heard the arguments used, and having mildly expressed her objection to the heartless proposal of the greedy southerners, she ordered them out of the room, crying bitterly. She, however, found her way to the kitchen, called all the servants together, and explained the cause of her troubl!
e. The object of the quests at Comar was soon circulated through the Strath, and early the following morning over a thousand men met together in front of Comar House, and demanded an interview with their chief. This was at once granted, and the whole body of the people remonstrated with him for entertaining, even for a moment, the cruel proceedings suggested by the strangers, whose conduct the frightened natives characterized as infinitely worse than that of the freebooting Lochaber men who, centuries before came with their swords and other instruments of death to rob his ancestors of their patrimony, but who were defeated and driven out of the district by the ancestors of those whom it was now proposed to evict out of their native Strath, to make room for the greedy freebooters of modern times and their sheep. The chief counseled quietness, and suggested that the action that they had taken might be construed as an act of inhospitality to his guests, not characteristic, in a!
ny circumstances, of a Highland chief.
The sheep farmers who stood inside the open drawing-room window, heard all that had passed, and seeing the unexpected turn events were taking, and the desperate resolve shown by the objects of their cruel purpose, they adopted the better part of valour, slipped quietly out by the back door, mounted their horses, galloped away as fast as their steeds could carry them, and crossed the river Glass among the hooting and derision of the assembled tenantry, heard until they crossed the hill which separates Strathglass from Corriemony. The result of the interview with their laird was a complete understanding between him and his tenants; and flying horsemen, looking behind them for the first time when they reached the top of the Maol Bhuide, saw the assembled tenantry forming a procession in front of Comar House, with pipers at their head, and the Chisholm being carried, mounted shoulder-high, by his stalwart vassals, on their way to Invercannich. The pleasant outcome of the whole w!
as that the chief and clan expressed renewed confidence in each other, a determination to continue in future in the same happy relationship, and to maintain, each on his part, all modern and ancient bonds of fealty ever entered into by their respective ancestors.
This, in fact, turned out to be one of the happiest days that ever dawned on the glen. The people were left unmolested so long as this chief survived- a fact which shows the wisdom of chief and people meeting face to face, and refusing to permit others- whether greedy outsiders or selfish factors- to come and foment mischief and misunderstanding between parties whose interests are so closely bound together, and who, if they met and discussed their differences, would seldom or ever have any disagreements of a serious character. Worse counsel prevailed after Alexander's death, and the result under the cruel daughter of the notorious Marsali Bhinneach, has already been described.
Reference has been made to the clearance of Glenstrathfarrar by the late Lord Lovat, but for the people removed from there and other portions of the Lovat property, he allotted lands in various other places on his own estate, so that, although these changes were most injurious to his tenants, his lordship's proceedings can hardly be called evistions in the ordinary sense of the term. His predecessor, Archibald Fraser of Lovat, however, evicted, like the Chisholms, hundreds from the Lovat estates.
John, You can't swing a bargain no matter how hard you try. ;-)
7.96 for Delivery, I don't want them to fly over personally with the bloody
thing.
Apart from that things are progressing quite well over here.Knocking them

Dear Hugh,
Thanks for the attachment, but sadly it is of no use. We were given it when
we first started to record the burial grounds and thought it would save us a
lot of work, alas it proved to be no help. There were so many mistakes and
so many headstone left off that we scrapped it and did it afresh. We have
put out the word that it is a very unreliable source of information.
The book of M.Is is 169 pages of A4, containing full transcriptions of 1457
headstones with complete index's and maps. I don't feel that our price is
high for all the info and work that had to be done. By the way the post and
pack to Canada is £7.96. Anyone that buys the book and has an interest in
Eskadale we will for free look up the required names for them unil
Kiltarlity parish is finished.
The Glens and Sraths book is the complete history for the Chisholm family
land from 1700-2000.
Regards Sue

Hugh,
You are a wonderful source of information for which I am eternally grateful.
The information that you provided on Clachan Comar is interesting but has
been superceded by a recent publication entitled "Memorial Inscription -
Parish of Kilmorack". This is published by The Kilmorack Heritage
Association. The cost was about 18-20 UK pounds which is Aussie dollars
made it very expensive.
The above book contains details of all of the headstones at Clachan Comar
and indeed for all of the Parish of Kilmorack.
The information is much more extensive than the data in your list and by way
of example I will use the following:
"Duncan Rhumvraid and Seonaid
Parents of Valane and Margaret"
Should read
"Of your charity
pray for the souls of
Duncan CHISHOLM
Ruinivraid, Cannich
who died 15th February 1927
his wife Jessie MacKenzie
who died 21st May 1938
and their daughters
Margaret Mary
who died 24th November 1961
Elizabeth Valentine
CHISHOLM
who died on the 4th August 1987
Margaret Mary Elizabeth
and Valentine who died in infancy
RIP
It appears that Seonaid is a cognate form of Jessie (bit of a worry that!).
"Seònaid ... Common. A female derivative of the Hebrew Johanan, meaning
either God is gracious or the grace of God. Cognate with Janet and Janice.
See
Deònaid, Seas, Seasaidh, Seòna, Seonag, Teasaidh."[Morgan, s.n. Seònaid]
Devotees of the various form of Scottish Women's names can follow this
further at the rather erudite site:
http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/gaelicwomen/index.shtml (I
must learn how to insert hyper links!)
While I'm at it it is evident that quite a few of those buried at Clachan
Comar (which is located very close to Cannich) lived near Eskadale which is
the other end of the Strath. The reason for this is probably due to the
goodness of the Lord Lovat who made space available for many Chisholms who
were displaced by the Clearances around Cannich in the early
1800s.
Kind regards
John Chisholm

Thw International Chisholm Clan reunion was held in June of 2001. I think
they only have them every five years. There is a Chisholm web sight that will
keep you up to date.

Dear List Members,
When posting queries, it is so very helpful if you put the appropriate
information in the subject line, such as name, date if known, etc. Granted,
it must be kept to a minimum due to space, but it does help other folks on
the list know whether or not it's something that might be of particular
interest to them.
The reality is that many people receive multitudes of messages every day
from one source or another. So it is not unusual for the delete key to be
used to thin down mail, particularly when it would appear to have no
connection with that person.
So please, put a bit of information in the subject line to alert our
subscribers as to the content of the post.
If you just say "Looking for family," then it might possibly be deleted
by someone who may hold the key to a new discovery.
If a thread gets going on a topic, and the topic makes a change, then
please also reflect that change in the subject line. A lot could be missed
otherwise.
Also remember that messages can only be sent through the lists in plain
text format.
This past year has been a difficult one for many people, myself included.
Hopefully we can move ahead, make new discoveries, find family, and break
down those brick walls.
Therefore at this time, to begin the new year, I would like to open up
this first week of January to a roll call.
Please remember when responding, DO NOT just put roll call in the subject
line. You do not have to mention roll call at all, use that valuable space
for a name, location, or date if you have it.
Ok, let's post our queries!
Best Wishes and Happy Hunting,
Deah

Happy New Year everyone! As we begin a new year I thought this would be a
good time to go over a few things for the list.
If you are not sure what lists you are subscribed to, then go to Password
Central http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and fill out the applicable
boxes for the information that you need.
When requesting information about which lists you are subscribed to, you
will quickly receive a reply naming all those lists, the address used to
post to the lists, and instructions as to how to unsubscribe from them.
Remember when sending messages, if they are sent to the -request address
they are not being posted to the list. They will only come here to me.
Addresses that contain the word "request" are only used for subscribing and
unsubscribing.
Also many times you will see a post from the message boards that is
"gatewayed" to many of the lists. A good portion of those who post to the
message boards do not subscribe to the lists. So if you reply via the list
regarding a board post, chances are good that the person you are trying to
respond to will not see your response. It is best to go to the board and
post your response there.
If by chance the person that posted does happen to also subscribe to the
list, they will still see your response.
If you wish to unsubscribe and are having problems, please do not send a
rude message to the list. It will get you unsubscribed, manually by me, but
also blocked from subscribing in the future. This is one instance when going
to Password Central is very helpful, and will save both you and me some
concern.
Or send me a note and ask for help, I don't mind a bit, and gladly will
help anyone that needs it. I realize things can be confusing at times.
Also, please know that although you don't always see me, I am here and
watching over you. If an issue arises on the list, I will take care of it
one-on-one in private with that individual or indivuals.
